Phenotype
The observable characteristics of an individual usually resulting from the interaction between the genotype and the environment in which development occurs
Genotype
The genetic constitution or makeup of an organism with respect to the alleles under consideration
Dominant
The allele which influences the appearance of the phenotype even in the presence of an alternative allele
E.g. AA or Aa, A is the dominant allele
Recessive
The allele that influences the appearance of the phenotype only in the presence of another identical allele
E.g. aa
F1 generation
The generation produced by crossing homozygous parental stocks
F2 generation
The generation produced by crossing two F1 generations
